The most popular summer events are the Festival for the Patron San Gaetano of Marina di Campo, which is held every year on August 7. During summer the beaches offer also a wide entertainment with concerts and spectacular festivals, among which we suggest you the Elba Summer Festival, organized by Association La Giostra, and the Beach Parties which in August crowd the beach of Cavoli.
